"The face of the operation is Briatore (referred to exclusively in the film by his colleagues and angry, chanting detractors as "Flavio"), an anthropomorphic radish who spends most of his time at QPR plotting to fire all of the managers."

At press time, Harbaugh had sent Michigan’s athletic department an envelope containing a heavily annotated seating chart, a list of the 63,000 seat views he had found unsatisfactory, and a glowing 70-page report on section 25, row 12, seat 9, which he claimed is “exactly what the great sport of football is all about.”

Is anyone with the name Jalen named after Jalen Rose? From what I remember, Rose was a compound name, a combination of his father (James or Jimmy) and his uncle (Len).

I know there is a basketball recruit who is also named Jalen, but has anyone ever heard of someone who is Rose's age or older named Jalen? If not, it's pretty cool (though not surprising) that the name has caught on.

Whats interesting there is they have a graph that shows when the name was popular, and it didn't have any data before 1992 (Rose was recruited to michigan in '91). So there's a chance that almost all kids named jalen are named after Rose.

there might be a few of them around, just not many over here. On the other hand, he is almost certainly the only Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo, which the power of the internets tells me is his full name.

This guy is the perfect QB to take in this class. Between him and Devin Fuller (who I dont think will end up coming here) I can see the staff going after that Conelius Jones* type pleyer. Start at QB but possibly move if it doesnt work out.

*although Jones did say he was being recruited as a safety I'm not mistaken

Woo, I like this. Seems solid enough as an athlete that he could have multiple options if QB doesnt work out (or more accurately (hopefully?), Devin and Shane end up being sick and Bellomy is a solid back-up).

I also like that we aren't necessarily offering ONLY 6-5 statues with rocket arms. I'm fine with that if that's what the coaches want to do, but offering a decent number of mobile QBs plus Bellomy last cycle seems to indicate a flexibility in what Gorgeous Al wants to have his QB do.

EDIT: Magnus says he heard Jalen is being recruited as a WR. Hokay, that works, too. After the month we've had, I'm pretty comfortable with whatever our coaches have going on in recruiting.

We'll have to see if interest develops. I believe he wants an opportunity to play QB which I doubt he gets with Denard/Devin ahead of him and Morris in line behind him. He could be a real intriguing WR prospect though with his size/speed combo.

If he is being offered at WR, I would have to assume that we will take 2 WRs in this class? I would assume that if you were only taking one it wouldn't be such a project at a position of need in the near future.

I think we only have room for 1 WR so I think they'll see how the dust settles with the other guys before they would bring him in.

In other WR new Corey Smith committed to Tennessee today. We didn't offer him but he's the teammate of Jarrod Wilson. Jarrod's a safety we like. Those two would like to go to the same school but it's not a deal breaker. Tennessee offered Wilson too so this can't hurt their chances.
